Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations of human WNT10A are associated with odonto-ectodermal dysplasia syndromes. Here, we present analyses of wnt10a loss-of-function mutants in the zebrafish. RESULTS: wnt10a mutant zebrafish embryos display impaired tooth development and a collapsing median fin fold (MFF). Rescue experiments show that wnt10a is essential for MFF maintenance both during embryogenesis and later metamorphosis. The...
